ABSTRACT:
A tool to terminate, without back-reflection, the signal transmitted within singlemode optical fibers. The reflection-free termination is induced by exposing singlemode optical fibers to a series of macrobends at a predetermined extent. The macrobends are produced by straight or U-shape pins, pre or mechanically positioned, which are perpendicular to a base plate and supported by the base plate of the tool. The fibers are snaked manually through the pre-positioned pins or simply inserted in the U-shaped pins. The pre-positioned pins induce macrobends of a predetermined extent to the fiber/s which terminate, without back-reflection, the optical signal. Similarly, the mechanical design places the pins in position for inducing the macrobends of a predetermined extent and hence, terminating the optical signal without back-reflection.
